Saying Good-Bye to Fear of the 1918 Flu

By J. Holcombe for Salem-News.com

And as with 9/11, most of what we have been told about the 1918 flu is untrue.

(LONDON) - The fear of pandemics provided the basis on which Bush set up medical martial laws in each state, a huge apparatus intersecting with the military and DHS, and opened the door to the unheard of - military on the ground in the US for a flu.

They are still here, based on Sebelius "extending" the flu until 2012.

We have had a pandemic run-through already. By now the country's knows the H1N1 pandemic was a dud. Many even know it was fake.

The whole thing was so bizarre that the Eu Parliament investigated as did the British Medical journal, condemning ties between the pharmaceutical industry and flu "experts."

A man at the WHO named Osterhaus has been the main person at the WHO saying that pandemics - SARS, Ebola, Avian flu, swine flu - were going to kill millions.

"Not only is Osterhaus the connecting person in an international network that has been described as the Pharma Mafia, he is THE key advisor to WHO on influenza and is intimately positioned to personally profit from the billions of euros in vaccines ..."

Pandemic terror was promoted by George Bush - the same person who said there were WMDs when there weren't, and overrode scientific data that there were none, making it possible for his armaments, oil, contractor and Monsanto friends (the last would potentially include Bill Gates) to go to war in Iraq, use weapons on people and get US taxpayers to buy more, get rich from profiteering off the huge military bases they built, control Iraq's oil, and take over their seeds (take over control of whether they live or die), all under the name of "freedom and democracy."

Bush brought the same use of terror and lies to pandemics. In this speech, one sees Bush announcing pandemics are to be greatly feared. He does this solely based on fear of the 1918 flu.

‘At this moment, there is no pandemic influenza in the United States or the world. But if history is our guide, there is reason to be concerned. In the last century, our country and the world have been hit by three influenza pandemics -- and viruses from birds contributed to all of them. The first, which struck in 1918, killed over half-a-million Americans and more than 20 million people across the globe…’

He was remarkably candid about the imminent danger to the American people: ‘Scientists and doctors cannot tell us where or when the next pandemic will strike, or how severe it will be, but most agree: at some point, we are likely to face another pandemic. And the scientific community is increasingly concerned by a new influenza virus known as H5N1 -- or avian flu…’

(The H1N1 pandemic was so false, they had to change the definition of pandemic to call it one.)

The 1918 flu. We know the drill - the horrific pandemic in which young people mysteriously died when they hadn't died from other flus, doctors found such terrible things as "bloody fluid in the lungs," and people were "well in the morning and dead by evening."

Scary stuff. That fear is the life blood of far and away the most dangerous of Bush's friends, those behind the pharmaceutical industry. Through Bush, it provided cover (as 9/11 had before) for them to dismantle even more constitutional protections as they arranged for something unheard of in history - medical martial laws "if" a pandemic emergency is declared (undefined and unproved). Fear based enon the 1918 flu allowed Bush to quietly lay the groundwork in the US for his friends in the pharmaceutical industry to potentially arrange a repeat of aspects of their control heyday in Germany and continue in their obsession with world power.

The 1918 flu is the true driver for all "pandemic preparedness," and has been twinned with vaccines - touted as the miracle of modern medicine that will protect people from pandemics the likes of the 1918 flu). Fear of that flu also provides the background terror that would be needed to push "pandemic emergencies" forward (just as 9/11 provided a searing horrific event for instituting a worldwide the War on Terror and pushing forward with a war against an uninvolved country). The 1918 flu is especially dear to those seeking a justification for breaking down fundamental rights here, rights people would never give up under ordinary circumstances, rights going beyond those down by using 9/11to removing now the most personal bodily ones (the last defense).

And as with 9/11, most of what we have been told about the 1918 flu is untrue.

The symptoms

The 1918 flu came with the "terrifying" and "strange" symptoms of bloody fluid in the lungs and people "well in the morning and dead by evening." Young people for the first time were dying of flu. But those 1918 flu symptoms are a classic description of an aspirin overdose. They would have been quite strange to people in 1918 since aspirin was relatively new. Doctors who had no idea it caused severe bleeding and is fatal in high doses, were prescribing it in massive doses. The pharmaceutical industry, which has been using those "bizarre" symptoms to elicit terror of the 1918 flu, was responsible them. And Bayer specifically, not just in the aspirin itself but through intense promotion of it.

The flu itself.

Unlike flus ever before (or any diseases now), the 1918 flu showed up simultaneously in distantly scattered places around the world (with no air travel to spread diseases). It started on military bases where vaccines were being given. People have been led to believe that there were no vaccines during the 1918 flu but they gave soldiers a huge number - including against typhoid (which is not contagious), yellow fever, cholera, and many other diseases).

"If we check back in history to that 1918 flu period, we will see that it suddenly struck just after the end of World War I when our soldiers were returning home from overseas. That was the first war in which all the known vaccines were forced on all the servicemen. This mish-mash of poison drugs and putrid protein of which the vaccines were composed, caused such widespread disease and death among the soldiers that it was the common talk of the day, that more of our men were being killed by medical shots than by enemy shots from guns. Thousands were invalided home or to military hospitals, as hopeless wrecks, before they ever saw a day of battle. The death and disease rate among the vaccinated soldiers was four times higher than among the unvaccinated civilians. But this did not stop the vaccine promoters. Vaccine has always been big business, and so it was continued doggedly.

"It was a shorter war than the vaccine-makers had planned on, only about a year for us, so the vaccine promoters had a lot of unused, spoiling vaccines left over which they wanted to sell at a good profit. So they did what they usually do, they called a meeting behind closed doors, and plotted the whole sordid program, a nationwide (worldwide) vaccination drive using all their vaccines, and telling the people that the soldiers were coming home with many dread diseases contracted in foreign countries and that it was the patriotic duty of every man, woman and child to get “protected” by rushing down to the vaccination centers and having all the shots. ....

"The doctors were baffled, and claimed they didnt know what caused the strange and deadly disease, and they certainly had no cure. They should have known the underlying cause was the vaccinations, because the same thing happened to the soldiers after they had their shots at camp. The typhoid fever shots caused a worse form of the disease which they called para-typhoid. Then they tried to suppress the symptoms of that one with a stronger vaccine which caused a still more serious disease which killed and disabled a great many men. The combination of all the poison vaccines fermenting together in the body, caused such violent reactions that they could not cope with the situation. Disaster ran rampant in the camps. Someof the military hospitals were filled with nothing but paralyzed soldiers [Guillaume Barre, as vaccines can cause?], and they were called war casualties, even before they left American soil. I talked to some of the survivors of that vaccine onslaught when theyre turned home after the war, and they told of the horrors, not of the war itself, and battles, but of the sickness at camp.

"The doctors didnt want this massive vaccine disease to reflect on them, so they, agreed among themselves to call it Spanish Influenza. Spain was a far away place and some of the soldiers had been there, so the idea of calling it Spanish Influenza seemed to be a good way to lay the blame on someone else. The Spanish resented having us name the world scourge on them. They knew the flu didnt originate in their country.

"I talked to some of the survivors of that vaccine onslaught when they returned home after the war, and they told of the horrors, not of the war itself, and battles, but of the sickness at camp. .... 20,000,000 died of that flu epidemic, worldwide, and it seemed to be almost universal or as far away as the vaccinations reached. Greece and a few other countries which did not accept the vaccines were the only ones which were not hit by the flu. Doesn't that prove something?

"At home (in the U.S.) the situation was the same; the only ones who escaped the influenza were those who had refused the vaccinations. My family and I were among the few who persisted in refusing the high pressure sales propaganda ,and none of us had the flu not even a sniffle, in spite of the fact that it was all around us, and in the bitter cold of winter. Everyone seemed to have it. The whole town was down sick and dying. The hospitals were closed because the doctors and nurses were down with the flu. Everything was closed, schools, businesses, post office everything. No one was on the streets. It was like a ghost town. There were no doctors to care for the sick, so my parents went from house to house doing what they could to help the stricken in any way they could. They spent all day and part of the night for weeks, in the sick rooms, and came home only to eat and sleep. If germs or viruses, bacteria, or any other little organisms were the cause of that disease, they had plenty of opportunity to latch onto my parents and “lay them low” with the disease which had prostrated the world. But germs were not the cause of that or any other disease, so they didnt “catch” it. I have talked to a few other people since that time, who said they escaped the 1918 flu, so I asked if they had the shots, and in every case, they said they had never believed in shots and had never had any of them. Common sense tells us that all those toxic vaccines all mixed up together in people, could not help but cause extreme body-poisoning and poisoning of some kind or another is usually the cause of disease.

The pharmaceutical industry is right again, this time with vaccines - multiple vaccines against multiple diseases

- the most likely source of the conglomeration of diseases that was labeled "Spanish influenza."

"I heard that seven men dropped dead in a doctor’s office after being vaccinated. This was in an army camp, so I wrote to the Government for verification. They sent me the report of U.S. Secretary of War, Henry L. Stimson. The report not only verified the report of the seven who dropped dead from the vaccines, but it stated that there had been 63 deaths and 28,585 cases of hepatitis as a direct result of the yellow fever vaccine during only 6 months of the war. That was only one of the 14 to 25 shots given the soldiers." www.whale.to/vaccine/sf1.html

"[The army] set up a rigorous regimen of hygiene, sanitation and improved nutrition. This sensible program reduced the incidence of typhoid to less than 3 cases per 1,000. This marked decline in disease was brought about in less than 10 years, from 1899 to 1908. And this was done without one injection of anti-typhoid vaccine being administered, or any other vaccine.

"In contrast to this remarkable record of disease prevention, we find that vaccination became compulsory in the Army in 1911, not only did typhoid increase rapidly, but all other vaccinal diseases increased at an alarming rate.

"I have heard some of the Army personnel argue that vaccination is not compulsory in the American armed services. But I -have also talked to G.I.’s who testified that those who refused to line up for the shots were seized by military police and forcibly held while the medics injected the poison serums into them — all fourteen shots. I have also seen the records of several soldiers who were given long prison terms (seven years) at Fort Leavenworth for resisting vaccination. They may have had to fight the M.P.’s to do this, and that went against their records. Other penalties were also imposed on the soldiers, such as demotion and witholding pay, for this rejection of enforced blood poisoning (vaccination), which the military interpreted as "insubordination."

"It was during World War I (we entered it in 1917) when vaccination was enforced to the fullest extent, that the death rate from typhoid rose to the highest point in history— even higher than it had been during the pre-sanitation days of the Spanish American War. This 1917-1920 death rate could not be blamed on bad sanitation or spoiled food as was the case in the tropics. The deaths occurred after the shots were given in sanitary American hospitals and well-supervised army camps in France, where sanitation had been practiced for years. There was no typhoid in the camps before vaccination, so it couldn’t be blamed on contagion. The only reason for this extremely high death toil was the blood-poisoning practice of vaccination."

Quite a record. The pharmaceutical industry's products were involved in causing a stew of diseases, while another product, heavily advertised, helped finish the patient off. The pharmaceutical industry is using the medical catastrophe it triggered and the deaths it caused to invent intense fear of pandemics, all viruses, and "new" diseases. Bush arranged a national and global apparatus around them, with military power included, and giving complete immunity from liability for the pharmaceutical industry and for those advising governors to begin medical martial law in the US and to implement any aspect of it.

The national protests over corporate power and theft of rights and murals in Maine, are silent about the waiting threat the country faces, a potentially culminating full corporate take over, based on an easily declared "pandemic emergency." Yet Bush pandemic laws in each state would take away all freedom here.

Under the proposed law, one case of smallpox or swine flu in a public school could trigger authorities to urge a governor to declare a state of emergency. Once such is declared, the U.S. Constitution, Bill of Rights and most cherished civil liberties will be immediately suspended in addition to states being empowered to take immediate possession of private property under the doctrine of eminent domain.

Under Section 406 of the proposal under the heading, “Compensation,” it is explained that, “Compensation shall not be provided for facilities or materials that are closed, evacuated, decontaminated, or destroyed when there is reasonable cause to believe that they may endanger the public health.”

Under the Mandatory Medical Examinations section (502) of the law, persons refusing to submit to medical examinations and/or testing are liable for misdemeanors and forced isolation. If public health authorities suspect individuals may have been exposed to broadly defined infectious diseases, or otherwise pose a risk to public health, officials may issue detainment orders. In the case of an urban attack, or even one suspected, possibly thousands of people could be marshaled into isolation camps, according to the law.Â In this case, physicians, assisted by police, will be required to perform state medical examinations and tests.

Under the law, “infectious diseases” are very broadly defined. “An infectious disease may, or may not, be transmissible from person to person, animal to person, or insect to person,” the authors explain in the text.

Section 504 of the Act details vaccination and treatment protocols. Following these mandates, public health authorities may compel people to be inoculated and/or drugged with any medicaments selected by the state. Individuals refusing to be vaccinated or treated would be liable for a misdemeanor, subject to police arrest, isolation or quarantine.

Section 807 repeals existing state laws that are in conflict with the Act. Under this part, for instance, previous laws granting medical, religious, or philosophical exemptions to vaccination would be repealed.

As of July 15, 2006, the Act has been introduced in whole or part through 171 bills or resolutions in forty-four (44) states, the District of Columbia, and the Northern Mariannas Islands. Thirty-eight (38) states [AL, AK, AZ, CA, CT, DE, FL, GA, HI, ID, IL, IN, IA, LA, ME, MD, MN, MO, MT, NV, NH, NJ, NM, NC, OK, OR, PA, RI, SC, SD, TN, TX, UT, VT, VA, WI, and WY] and DC have passed a total of 66 bills or resolutions that include provisions from or closely related to the Act. The extent to which the Act’s provisions are incorporated into each state’s laws varies. [More states have passed bills, including Massachusetts as recently as 2009.]

Who would declare a pandemic emergency? The CDC, which put out extremely false data on H1N1 cases under Louise Gerberding, who set up a division for "new" 21st centuries diseases before she left for a lucrative job heading Merck's vaccine division. (This is the same Merck that was the recipient of IG Farben's war chest and whose head vaccine scientist admitted they caused the AIDS epidemic in the US with their hepatitis vaccine and that all their vaccines are loaded with cancer and other viruses and makes Gardacil for young girls and RotaTeq for infants, which both the "preferred ingredient" in a "fertility damaging vaccine" patent. The fertility damaging ingredient is in the H1N1 vaccine, the flu vaccine when , the mandated hepatitis vaccine for newborn babies, and in a series of mandated pediatric vaccines. Why?)

In knowing the 1918 flu was not a single unknown terrifying virus but was mostly likely a series of diseases triggered simultaneously and globally by the pharmaceutical industry getting military to force a conglomeration of its vaccines on soldiers, and that the pharmaceutical industry was itself responsible for the most terrifying and mystifying symptoms including extremely rapid deaths, even of young people, fear of pandemics cease, questions arise. How many of the 20,000,000 people who died around the time of WWI, died because of the pharmaceutical industry? Should those deaths be added to the millions of deaths (as many as 20,000,000) the pharmaceutical industry was responsible for shortly afterwards in causing WWII? And today, how many people could it potentially kill if given military power again and the ability to force their vaccines and their drugs on everyone?

The collapse of the false story of the 1918 flu immediately collapses justification for all pandemic preparedness in the US or around the world. What arises in its place is awareness of the danger from the pharmaceutical industry and who they are. Bush's pandemic martial laws would allow for forced vaccination with unknown and untested vaccines (no liability to the pharmaceutical industry, even for deaths), and in arranging for forced diagnostic testing, forced taking of samples, forced and unknown "medical" treatments, are actually arranging for forced medical experiments on anyone, or any group, or the whole US population. These are the same crimes against humanity for which the pharmaceutical industry was convicted by the Nuremberg Tribunal when they ran hideous medical experiments at Auschwitz, and against which the Nuremberg Code was designed to protect people for any repeat.

And it is the pharmaceutical industry which arranged Bush's medical martial laws.

In promoting drug industry immunity from legal damage suits, the [Bush] claim[ed] he is ‘breaking down barriers to vaccine production.’ In reality he [was] taking steps to create an environment which not even the Nazi doctors and drug companies during the Third Reich enjoyed—they had to be secretive about their actions. This is a very alarming precedent should it become law. [The Supreme Court just gave the vaccine manufacturers total immunity from liability.] The real question to ask is what could be so important to compel the President of the United States to put his own population at risk in such an unfettered drug environment?

That there exists a virulent viral strain affecting birds especially in parts of Vietnam and China is not the issue at hand here. Rather it is the politicization of such a condition to introduce a wholly other agenda, one whose ultimate consequences on human life and well-being are potentially far more damaging than any conceived damage from H5N1 or other virus strains. http://oilgeopolitics.net/GMO/Tamiflu/tamiflu.html

New outrageous bills are raining down around the country setting off protests. Those protesting on both sides might notice how the emotional uproar serves to distract from larger plans put in place through Bush's Patriot Act (9/11's doing) and Bush's Pandemic Preparedness laws (the 1918 "pandemic"s doing), that threaten everyone's lives and the country.

Everyone now has reason to protest together - to demand the immediate repeal of those laws and the dismantling of the entire "pandemic emergency" apparatus (including the removal of military from US soil, the de-activation of FEMA camps, and the annulling of Sibelius' "extension" until 2012 of one of the mildest flus on medical record - needed to justify moving forward with any "pandemic" plans).

The pharmaceutical industry has created a vast system of control but it is dependent at every level on decent people in the military, science agencies, public health agencies and the public still believing that pandemics are a terrible threat to the world and that vaccines are safe and protect them. As they learn otherwise, the pharmaceutical industry apparatus built around pandemics will begin to fall apart. People in those agencies will among themselves about the 1918 flu and there being no reason to fear pandemic viruses, about the history of the pharmaceutical industry during WWI and WWII, about their having arranged Bush's pandemic laws which include forced medical experiments on any American (even children) and seizure of any American's property, and their extraordinary plans for the US.

From the WHO 2005 declaration: (excerpted) “Under special pandemic plans enacted around the world including the USA, in 2005, national governments are to be dissolved in the event of a pandemic emergency and replaced by special crisis committees, which take charge of the health and security infrastructure of a country, and which are answerable to the WHO and EU in Europe and to the WHO and UN in North America. [Emphasis added.]

That quote needs to be confirmed But the bringing together of "health" and military is apparent. And a little knowledge of who exerts powerful influence over the WHO and the UN again reveals the pharmaceutical industry.

Wondering why no one talks about sanitation and general cleanliness.

Aspirin was a death sentence for 1918 flu victims. Allopathy had a 20% survival rate compared to homeopathy, which was widespread back then, with a 80% survival rate.

Outstanding report! All in one place- and totally verifiable from other sources! (And very soon- those responsible for this, will be held accountable for it!)
Get ready!

Sorry, i call BS. I looked around to compare fatalities in the U.S. to Germany. 650,000 in continental US vs. 250,000 in Germany; 400,000 in France. You can't tell me that Germany, the enemy in the War, used the same vaccination regime as the U.S.

Good article. I think another medical scam is that cancer kills. What if cancer is a protection mechanism, cordoning off damage? Chemotherapy is probably the main killer. People say he/she died of cancer. What if they really died of a an underlying serious nutritional deficiency/ph inbalance and the body's attempt to deal with it is blamed? Do searches on cancer as protection mechanism.

What was known as the Spanish Influenza was very real. My grandmother was 16 years old in 1918 and was one of the lucky ones who survived that flu. She tells of living in Philadelphia when she contracted it and watching out of the window as the horse-drawn wagon came around to collect the dead. Her older brother operated what was known as a "Steam Shovel" for the city and was kept busy digging mass graves, as the gravediggers were unable to keep up. To show you how backward medical science was at the time, when the doctor came to see her (yes, they made house visits back then) he told her mother to cut her long hair (which was past her hips in length) because it was sapping her strength. She also said that city workers would stop at the various doctors’ offices every day to find out where the new cases were and then they would go to the houses and mark them with an "X" using whitewash. I have seen estimates that somewhere between 3% and 6% of the population of the world at that time died of that flu. Of course, antibiotics such as penicillin had not yet been discovered so ailments like a particularly virulent flu or Tuberculosis were more commonly fatal than they would be today.

Alrighty then..now THIS is an article salem-news should be posting. May I add, man made global warming is also a lie.
CO2 is needed to keep plants alive who keep us alive, and was only brought up to finance the IMF and the new world bank. Should we do our best to help the environment? Yes, of course, I do all I can, but I dont fall for scams.
